Keeping your teen safe

After hours of watching your teen behind the wheel, they're finally a licensed driver.
You taught them to drive,and now they're eager to take off on their own. Even
though your teen is driving alone, you can still influence their driving habits and
encourage them to simply drive.



Know the rules of the road

Many states have laws banning texting and talking on your phone while driving. Make sure your teen is familiar with your state's laws and the consequences of distracted driving.

Passengers are also a big distraction. Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) regulations often limit the number of people a newly-licensed teen can drive around. Educate yourself and your driver about
these restrictions.


Set up some guidelines

Set clear expectations for your teen driver. Reinforce that distracted driving is dangerous and won't be tolerated. Hold your driver accountable. A license gives your teen new freedom, but also more responsibility.

One of the biggest distractions is cell
phone use.

  • Smartphones combine two major distractions (GPS, music) into one device, on top of distracting
    calls and texts.
  • If your teen uses their phone to navigate, make sure they use a windshield mount or stand
    so the directions are clearly visible.
  • Did you know there are apps to blocks calls
    and texts and apps that select music to play so your driver doesn't have to?


Lead by example

Set a strong example for your driver. If you don't
text and drive or constantly change the radio
station, they're less likely to as well.
